No, I don't. Have I actually said that? No, I didn't.

:roll: If I tell you that a + b is an algebraic formula, would you object to that by saying "a and b are letters of the English language?"

It could mean the logical "and". As in, "p and q".

What was your point, again? About the truth of Einstein's formula?

What you just said is a contradiction.

Oh, it's pedantic? So you would say that 2 + 5 is the same formula as 2 - 5?

Where did I say "plus"? Oh that's right, I didn't say it. You said it:

I never said that it does. There's no difference between kinetic and potential energy. Just as there's no difference between energy and heat. It's rea...

Like what? If you can't provide any actual examples of what you just said there, then you just said a bunch of nonsense.

How would I know? I'd have to calculate it.

I disagree. For all formulas, there are three kinds: those that are T, those that are F, and those that can be either T or F, depending on the case. I...

It's the same as rest mass. And since you have rest in both cases, you can simplify it, so that you're actually talking about energy and mass. Again, ...

Of course it does. Scientists distinguish many different kinds of energy. But's the same type of property, at the end of the day: E.

kinetic and potential energy, dude. In Newtonian terms. It's super simple. You already know this.

Einstein's formula, from a purely mathematical point of view, does not require them.

There, I edited it for you, I think it looks better now. That'll be five cents, please. clubs (?), diamonds (??), hearts (?) spades (?)

Yes, I did. Einstein's formula has been experimentally corroborated many times.
